Scuba Diving in Fiji

July 28, 2007


Dive Site: Pot Luck
Location: Vatu-i-Ra Passage
Description: Coral wall
Depth: 5 – 35 metres (16 – 115 feet)
Visibility: 30 metres + (100 feet)

This wall drops off deep into the Vatu-i-Ra passage and literally anything could make an appearance from spanish mackerel and yellowfin tuna, through sharks and larger rays to dolphins and whales. Drifting along the wall leaves the mind filled with colour as almost none of the reef is bare and the sheer variety of corals and fish is incredible.
